About this property
Backwater Retreat is a row of lake-facing cottages at Punnamada, a few minutes from the finishing point jetty where the snake-boat race ends. Each cottage opens to the water, and the sunset boat ride leaves from the property's own jetty.
Meals lean Kerala-traditional — appam and stew at breakfast, karimeen at dinner — and the Ayurveda room takes appointments a day ahead.
